[NEW? PLEASE READ] Just a bit of rules & guidelines

01-24-2019, 11:08 PM

Welcome to ZooVille!

Thanks for making Zooville your home! We welcome everyone that's presently a zoo, curious, or just trying to get their foot in the water! We currently have our list of guidelines that everyone needs to follow.
Just a simple, straight to the point, post.

1. No spamming of other peoples posts, or spamming links to be a nuisance. DO NOT SPAM BLOGS TAB WITH YOUR PERSONALS!

2. No flaming or doxing to other members of the site. No harassment or stalking of any kind to members of the site. If someone does not want to chat, leave them be. Infractions and a possible ban depending on severity will be in order.

3. Content of animals being abused will be removed. (This includes: torture, gagging, forced sex, large insertions, rough sex, or anything to cause harm)
3.a Anything involving prepubescent animals (puppies, young fillys, calf, etc) is not allowed. The animal should be of breeding age.
Please also see how content that is considered/reported as abusive is handled..

4. No scat/necro content.

5. No posting of links containing spyware or any form of virus through a thread, or Private Message. Doing so will result in an immediate account ban.

6. *Discussions which show approval for and/or defense of pedophilia or incest are prohibited. Details about sexual acts of an incestual or pedophilic nature are also expressly forbidden. You can say things like "i felt i was zoo at xx age." "I had my first zoo experience at xx age" "I knew i was zoo by the time i was XX age.", but going in to explicit detail about sexual acts with other humans being underage is considered pedophilic. You will be given an infraction.

7. Do not repost content you do not have permission to post form the original author. This includes content from commercial producers such as ZooSkool / Art Of Zoo, Seamless, Mr Unimportant, ect.

8. Groups must have at least 5 members within one month of creation. Groups with less users risks deletion. (See the Groups section below here for more info)

9. Telegram / Discord / KiK / Other chat apps***: Public Invite chat group links are allowed only in groups.

10. Do not include emails/KiK/any other IM names in the personals section. Have members contact you through PM on the site instead. You then can decide to share them those details.

*6. a [*=1]Underage material is never tolerated and members posting anything of this nature will be immediately removed without any prior warning! The term material is defined as any video, image, or text file that is pornographic in nature that has been included either in the text post, added as an attachment file for download, or made available as a link in the post to an outside source. If you are in doubt about anything you want to share, please ask a staff member to check it out for you privately. Pedophilia is not be allowed to be promoted in any form.

Respectful to others: Everyone has different opinions - We ask that everyone be respectful to others on this forum. If you disagree with someone, state your contrasting opinion using clear and concise points. Arguing is not tolerated on this board. Insulting members is not tolerated.

Given an infraction in error? If you feel like you've been given an infraction, or banned for no reason at all. Please feel free to discuss with a moderator located in the "Staff" section.

Account deletions: Users wishing to have their accounts deleted may submit a request via PM to admin or ZTHorse. Note that when your account is deleted, your posts to the the forum remain, but the username is set to "Guest".

Monetization of content: Users wishing to accept donations via cryptocurrencies for free content they post may do so, please see our monetization post for recommendations. In the event users wish to sell private paid content, we will enforce the following rules to prevent scams:

Users wishing to sell private content need to be verified. Verification consists of a short video or two (2) picture of yourself (masks, face paint, ect are acceptable) and your animal co-stars. These pictures include the word "Zooville", today's date, and your Zooville username written on a piece of paper, legibly. This is shared among Zooville super-mods and above only, and never distributed publicly. These photos / video exist to show you have the equipment and talent to produce content. Send verification's to the admin account in a PM. Users who have posted a substantial amount of free content may request verification status without going through the above process.

All sales advertised on Zooville need to be transacted entirely on Zooville. Use the PM system, not kik, email, third-party websites, ect.

Zooville rules are still in effect for private content sold on Zooville. If someone sells something that wouldn't be allowed normally, we encourage you to report them to the staff.

Zooville mod staff can, at any time, request copies of any content attempting to be sold on Zooville for the purposes of scam prevention.

Blogs an important outlet for zoos to express their opinions in a essay format, not for your personals ad to be front page.

Use usernames that are not easily identifiable. In other words, don't use the same username as you do elsewhere if you don't want to be discovered.

Same goes for emails. No one would be able to see your email on this site, besides admins.

At the mean time, if video formats are larger than 100MB... You will need to use HJ-Split to split and upload the videos to the thread.Where can I get HJ-Split? Use this link here.

If possible, make screenshots for videos you upload so users know what they're getting.

Trouble Watching Videos?
Videos over 100Mb uploaded to Zooville.org need to be split with HJ-Split. You can tell a video has been split if it end with a three number suffix such as .001, .002, ect. Once the video has been reassembled, you'll need the appropriate video and audio codecs in order to play it. Many devices and players (such as QuickTime) do not contain a large variety codecs by default. If your having trouble playing videos, Zooville.org recommends you download and attempt to play them with VLC Media Player.

Comment

will you allow uploads of video files? mp4 / wmv attachments seem to be prohibited.

It seems you need to whitelist which file types you'd like to allow, other than images in vbulletin. I've added video file types now, but this has uncovered another issue with larger uploads. I'm looking into it now and it'll be fixed in a day or two. I'll make a post when its fixed detailing file size upload limits. (It'll be fairly large, none of this 10MB limit stuff like BF)

Hope I am asking the right person. New here and do not want to break any rules. Also thank you and all the others for this great site. I have a lot of furry pics. to post, but some of them have a copyright mark on them. Is is still ok to post these?

Thanks to all of you who have taken the time and effort to not only put this site together, but to moderate it in such a way that it a safe and enjoyable place to visit. I really appreciate the tone of the rules and there clearly was a lot of thoughtful discussion behind them.

Hello Staff! I love this site and am very happy that you all took the time to make it! Is it possible to restrict the viewing of content for people who have not logged in? I noticed that there is quite a bit that someone can see before they are authenticated to the site and to me that presents a risk. People could learn a lot about members just by browsing content from the home page without being logged in. Just my two cents.

That should be already be set. I'm able to see error messages that I need to be logged in to view content.
